I’d just like to warn about the reverse way, using aqara products on a general hub. I’m running HA with z2m myself, and used to have a whole array of aqara devices. They caused me nothing but problems, so I have slowly phased them out to similar devices which actually follow the zigbee standard.
Yeah, I just made a quick script that queries my public IP every 5 minutes, then changes the a-records via the registrar’s API, if it detects a change.
My ISP only have static ipv4 available for businesses. The price increase is quite a lot. I have been experimenting with ipv6, though I will loose connection when I am at someone else’s WiFi with no ipv6… It’s there as a fallback for now.
I don’t really see why you shouldn’t… I have mine behind a reverse proxy, which puts SSL on the public endpoint. The biggest “issue” today, is the isp rotating my ipv4 address to often.
I used to have a sonoff zigbee 3.0 stick, which was a good device. But back then I still had problems. It probably depends on how many devices you have, but for me, especially when I had a lot of aqara router devices, they took down the whole network from time to time. And they would constantly fall out of the network. I still have one socket switch left, and it triggers by turning on the light in the same room(IKEA switch). There is no automation linked for this… Only solution is to downgrade the firmware of the socket switch several versions.
